[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 859053"] i dont know where you live but 10$ a year is very cheap, i live in a country where the average salary is 200$ a month, and people can afford to go coffee shop almost daily, 0.5$ a coffee... There is nothing unethical, it is business, security vendors aren't charity. I was employed by Emsisoft, so i know very well how it functions so i could tell you the reasons but it is not me to do it. i find amusing people want free security software while they are ready to spend 60+$ on a single video game or a Netflix subscription... Did you consider: 1- salary increases, now even qualified Asian and Indian employees (used to be very cheap) cost almost the same as a starting western one. 2- the cost of software development, malware research, support, etc... 3- infrastructure costs (you all like cloud stuff, who pay the expensive monthly hosting data servers? Santa Claus?) 4- local taxes increases, governments are broke, they drain money as much as they can, never heard about "taxes for digital services companies"? i can go on and on... So do you expect with a free or cheap price a company will stay afloat? Look at Zemana, hundreds of free giveaway, result , they are almost bankrupt...their rep disappeared from MT as if he was abducted by some Aliens LOL i can guess from your post, you are not business owner. Yes. their product, their rules. They set a price, up to you to follow or move on to another solution. Will you complain and beg a restaurant owner to give you a discount if his prices doubles? i bet not, you will find another restaurant. Anyway, if you don't pay with cash , you will pay in another way... nothing is free in this world. [/QUOTE]
